Colour lithograph on Arches wove paper. Monogrammed in brush and annotated 'EA' in graphite. From the edition of 100 + EA. Published by Jacques Putman. Printed by Pierre Badey. Reference: Mason Putman 166. Bram Van Velde’s MP 166 (1975) is a color lithograph on Arches wove paper that reflects his mature abstract language, where form dissolves into expressive gesture. Dominated by cool blue tones and deep blacks, the composition suggests a fragmented, almost architectural structure intersected by bold, sweeping lines. The layered brushwork and translucent passages create a sense of depth and instability, evoking both interior space and emotional tension. Published by Jacques Putman and printed by Pierre Badey, this work exemplifies Van Velde’s post-war exploration of abstraction as a means of conveying psychological presence rather than concrete representation.

What is geometric abstract art?
Geometric abstraction is a form of abstract art that uses geometric shapes arranged in a non-illusionistic space (though not always) and combined into non-representational (non-objective) compositions. Based on years of artistic research, some artists have proposed that geometric abstraction offers a solution to modern challenges by rejecting traditional illusionistic practices in favor of clarity and simplicity.
